Robot-Assisted Surgical Technology for Hips and Knees
Robotic-assisted surgery is an innovative technology that has advanced how surgeons can perform joint replacement surgeries. This minimally invasive technique allows enhanced accuracy and helps with shorter recovery times.
Innovative technology is an vital tool, but the ultimate success of the procedure rests in the hands of experienced and well-trained surgeons. Our orthopedic surgeons were among the first to use joint navigation technology since we worked with the manufacturer to help develop it. Therefore, our surgeons have years of experience with systems that many other facilities are just beginning to employ.
About The Stryker® Joint Navigation System
The Stryker® joint navigation system used is state-of-the-art technology for knee and hip replacements. This system performs precise calculations for the incision and analyze joint characteristics so that orthopedic surgeons can determine the optimal reduction of damaged cartilage.
This navigation technology also helps surgeons ensure that the replacement joint is properly aligned for each patient’s anatomy.
Patients benefit from:
- Improved joint performance
- Strength and stability
- Extended longevity
- Faster recovery
The benefits of this joint navigation system are further augmented with minimally invasive surgical techniques that greatly reduce the size of incision while simultaneously enabling patients to experience a rapid recovery with less post-operative pain.
Minimally invasive surgical techniques are not appropriate for all patients, so please ask your doctor if you are a candidate. For a free referral to an orthopedic physician, please visit our online physician finder or call (727) 462-7500.
